Snap Shot Analysis – SF & DET cards

As you all may know Dynasty released by email and online the 2012 World Series teams the Detroit Tigers and the San Francisco Giants. A best of seven series is available to be played online(there is no fee just sign up for a 2-day free trial). I played a series and Detroit won the series 4-1. I have selected the 2 best hitting cards from each team and will analyze them using a new metric WcOPS, based on the cOPS rating which was developed last season.

First lets take a look at the raw data

The numbers were calculated from the player card vs. LHP and vs RHP. Each column is how many “numbers” are within the given range. For example Miguel Cabrera has 90 walk numbers vs LHP and 62 HOMERUN numbers vs RHP. Adding all the on-base numbers on Miguel Cabrera’s card vs. LHP would make him a 237 vs LHP.

Hey what’s that WcOPS number there?

WcOPS is the hit numbers + slugging pecentage of both sides weighted more towards MLB averages. In simple terms you face more RHP than LHP in SABLE so shouldn’t the metric be weighted as such?
